You can read more about it here and also check to see if the Chipotle(s) you visited were affected:

Chipolte.com - Chipotle Mexican Grill Reports Findings from Investigation of Payment Card Security Incident
The one by my house is apparently one of the ones affected. Fortunately I last visited just before the hack happened, so no issues on my end. ^

Fun fact: they came out a couple of years ago and said that they'll never adopt the chip. I wonder if that'll change now and whether that previous statement will bite them later in the inevitable lawsuit.
